I have recently embarked on a documentary focusing on Vampire: The Masquerade live action role-players in the Belleville area. Vampire: The Masquerade is based on vampires in a modern Gothic-Punk world.

In general, live action role-playing games involve participants who physically act out their characters’ actions. LARP may involve a varying degree of costumes, acting, props, genre, etc.

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Toreador clan’s ball. It was interesting to see all the characters dressed in period pieces and interacting.

BELLEVILLE, ON. November 14, 2008 – A live action role-player wears stickers denoting what his costume looks like at the Toreador Ball.

Ottawa, ON: November 8, 2008 – Teresa Lanthier, 77, and Linda Cardey, 63, have been coming to Merivale Bingo for over 25 years. They frequent different bingo halls across Ottawa three to four times a week. The two women met at a bingo hall in Kanata eight years ago and have become good friends through their shared love for the game.
